The macroscopic fluctuation theory provides a complete hydrodynamic description of nonequilibrium classical diffusive systems. As a first step towards a diffusive theory of open quantum systems, we propose a microscopic open quantum system model —the selective dephasing model. It exhibits genuine quantum diffusive scaling. Namely, the dynamics is diffusive and the density matrix remains entangled at large length scales and long time scales.
